The TV Asahi drama 'Daikuukou ~GATE24~' is a high-concept airport security procedural starring Shuri as the lead. The series follows GATE24, a special unit under the Cabinet Secretariat tasked with airport security. The cast has been built out over three casting announcements in June 2026.
Godon Maeda plays super-elite immigration inspector Keiichiro Hayami, and Rihito Itagaki plays customs officer Atsushi Matsuyama, both members of GATE24. Toshiro Yanagiba, who previously played Shuri's father in the NHK morning drama 'Boogie Woogie', plays veteran immigration inspector Shizen Fukasawa. Yasuko Matsuyuki plays elite bureaucrat Midori Sugihara. Kyoko Saito plays Nozomi Endo, an animal quarantine officer with sharp information-gathering skills. Saito described the script as puzzle-like and praised Shuri's natural performance.
